<ul style="font-family: museo-sans-1, museo-sans-2, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;">
<li>2 cups flour (I used oat flour)</li>
<li>¾ cup sugar or sugar substitute </li>
<li>½ teaspoon salt</li>
<li>2 teaspoons baking powder</li>
<li>2 teaspoons baking soda</li>
<li>½ teaspoon cinnamon (I used pumpkin pie spice)</li>
<li>½ teaspoon vanilla</li>
<li>3 eggs</li>
<li>1 cup sour cream (I used plain greek yogurt)</li>
<li>3/4 cup milk (I like buttermilk)</li>
<li>1 cup pumpkin</li>
<li>In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and spices. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, adding yogurt, milk and pumpkin puree. Mix well. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Spoon the batter onto a preheated, oiled griddle, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook pancakes slowly over a low-medium heat for approximately 4-6 minutes, flipping after 3 minutes.</li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: museo-sans-1, museo-sans-2, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;">
<em>Note: If you want a really sweet pancake, substitute the cup of sour cream for one cup of French vanilla yogurt and decrease the sugar to a ½ cup.</em></div>

It was really the BEST banana bread I have ever had- so moist and tasty. She made them as muffins but you could bake as a loaf too.<br />
<br />
1/2 c. butter<br />
1 c. sugar<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
1 tsp lemon juice<br />
1 3/4 c flour<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1/2 c sour cream (i didn't have this so I used plain greek yogurt as a substitute)<br />
1/2 c chopped walnuts<br />
1 c mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and lemon juice. Mix well. In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour flour mixture into the butter mixture and stir until smooth. Fold in sour cream, nuts and bananas. Bake for 50-60 minutes in greased bread pan.Lindsey Simonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10479866277254295476noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311388413824153481.post-81178633529873740692012-06-09T06:28:00.001-07:002012-07-18T10:35:59.209-07:00California Chipotle Chopped Salad<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yep, this is another recipe I found via Pinterest. Love that website!! These are such a tasty snack. I may have just eaten the whole bunch of kale in one sitting. Guess that's a good thing! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are a recipe you can make a variety of ways. This is the way I did it...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I cleaned and tore off leafy parts of the kale and placed them in a bowl. Then I drizzled a little bit of olive oil on top, used 1/2 of a freshly squeezed lemon, salt to taste, and about 1 tsp minced garlic. Place in oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, or until leafy edges are crispy. Eat right out of oven. Yummy!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Other options:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">salt & vinegar</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">parmesan cheese</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">any seasoning really.

This is what I made for dinner and everyone LOVED it so much I am posting it on Betsy! It is a healthy version of Panda Express' orange chicken. I served it over rice with a side of steamed broccoli. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1/2 c chicken broth </div>
<div>
6 tbsp hoisin sauce (in the oriental section)</div>
<div>
4 tbsp sugar-free apricot jam</div>
<div>
4 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce</div>
<div>
1 tsp orange zest</div>
<div>
2 large oranges</div>
<div>
3 tbsp chopped cilantro</div>
<div>
4 chicken breast, defrosted and cut into cubes</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Mix and set aside. Place cubed chicken in a frying pan and pour sauce over chicken. Cook on stove on high heat. Liquid will evaporated some, forming a sauce you can use to pour over rice. If you want more orange sauce add a little more water as the chicken cooks. Serve over rice. Combine orange slices and cilantro in a small bowl and toss. Place on top of chicken and rice or on the side. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"></span>If you know me, I LOVE cookies....well the cookie dough mainly. This is a recipe a friend just gave me. It was the BEST one I have tried yet. It tastes like something from a bakery. I just made it for our Vegas Ragnar trip (for a little sugar high) and everyone gobbled them up!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2 c. Crisco (this is probably why it tastes so good)</div>
<div>
1 1/2 c sugar</div>
<div>
1 1/2 c brown sugar</div>
<div>
4 eggs</div>
<div>
2 tsp vanilla (I like the pure vanilla extract)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mix and add:</div>
<div>
3 tsp baking soda</div>
<div>
2 tsp salt</div>
<div>
4 1/2 c flour</div>
<div>
Bake at 350 for 7-9 minutes.</div>
